Irsay said it cut and 23 million-franchise tag numbers to hit a baseball cap and $ 16 million. That and 7 million savings Colts gives significant relief.

Manning said there had to be the highest paid player in the league, and to 18 by the average of the year coincides with Tom Brady.

Now the Colts make decisions about the supply of Joseph Addai and offensive lineman Charlie Johnson, the largest remaining free agents.

The team had previously indicated that would be more interested in adding a book or two external agents than usual if possible. But that would defeat the Colts longstanding philosophy.
